Cao Ning suddenly raised his head, his pupils widened: "Your Highness, I...I..."
All the words he wanted to defend came to an abrupt end under those sharp phoenix eyes.
He wanted to ask His Highness to give him a chance, to say that he would not do anything to harm His Highness, and to say that he would not betray His Highness's team, but what qualifications did he have to say these words?
The moment he concealed his dealings with the Song family, he actually lost the opportunity.
At that time, he had already judged what kind of person Her Highness was. Even if she was not the arrogant and savage princess in the rumors, she would not tolerate being deceived by anyone around her.
The longer they get along, the more he understands what kind of person His Highness is.
His Highness values affection and justice, and treats the people around him very well. Under the premise, that person is really worthy of her trust.
He was uneasy and thought about confessing, but the longer time passed, the more hesitant he became.
Throughout the ages, subordinates with bad intentions will never end up well, and he already knows this.
However, he still challenged His Highness and proposed to join His Highness's team. It was probably a fluke.
Maybe His Highness will never find out? Maybe, His Highness will cherish talents and not care about them?
But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was not lucky, but ignorant and arrogant.
How ignorant does he have to be to think that it is impossible for His Highness to discover it?
How arrogant is he to think that His Highness cherishes his talent and doesn't care about him?
He is an ordinary soldier of Guannei Guard. With the secret guidance and help of the Song family, he got such an opportunity. Even though His Highness cherishes his talent, people like him are not irreplaceable.
His ignorance and arrogance are actually contempt for His Highness.
Thinking of this, he blushed and was so ashamed that he simply couldn't face His Highness.
How could he have the nerve to say these words of defense?
What's more, His Highness just said that he could not be kept. If it were anyone else, his life would not be spared!
His Highness is so kind to him, which is actually enough to show appreciation for his talent. What else does he want to say?
Zheng Ji saw all his struggles and ups and downs in his eyes. His expression became colder and he only said: "When you challenged this palace, we had already terminated our engagement with Song Zan. Don't you think why the Song family wants you to enter this palace?" Team?"
She used a trick to connect the Song family to the Jiangnan Road corruption case, so that she could successfully break off the engagement.
A shrewd person like Song Qiyan would definitely know this.
Later, Song Qiyan let Cao Ning join her team, and it was clear what her intentions were.
Even if the Song family doesn't say it now, the Song family will not do it for her own good.
Cao Ning is a secret chess piece buried by the Song family next to her. This chess piece is still very weak and cannot play any role yet, but over time, when this chess piece grows into a general, when the Guannei Guard responds, he will kill her. The power is immeasurable.
She could think of the Song family's thoughts, but Cao Ning wouldn't think of it?
Cao Ning had thought of it a long time ago, so his face turned red and white, and he felt more and more regretful.
"It's a pity..." Zheng Ji shook his head and sighed: "This palace originally planned to use the power of Princess Ding's Palace to help you become the general of Guannai Guards."
"Your Highness, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Cao Ning said with difficulty, but he really had nothing to say.
She glanced at Song Caoning and said calmly: "I will not kill you, but I will not keep you. You can leave our team. From now on, you can just be an ordinary soldier. There is nothing wrong with it."
"...Yes, thank you Your Highness." Cao Ning lowered his head, then remembered something, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "But, what about His Highness's team? The martial arts selection competition is about to..."
It's not that he thinks highly of himself, but that he has cooperated with the other four people for such a long time and has a trust and tacit understanding that others cannot match. This is his advantage.
Now he wants to leave His Highness's team. His Highness can't gather five people, so what should he do?
"Your Highness, can you please allow me to stay with Your Highness for a while longer?
. After the martial arts selection is over, I...I will definitely not disturb His Highness! "Cao Ning said anxiously.
He raised his hand and swore: "Your Highness, even if the Song family makes a request, I will not be disadvantageous to Your Highness! I... I just want to fight side by side with everyone and win the selection competition for Your Highness!"
He has been in His Highness's team from the beginning. He knows better than anyone else how much His Highness attaches importance to this selection competition, and he knows better than anyone else how much effort and sweat His Highness has put into it.
Even in the face of countless disputes in the palace, His Highness never stopped training!
If it was because of him that the results of His Highness's competition were affected...he would never forgive himself no matter what!
At this time, he really felt unspeakable regret in his heart and wished that time could go back to the beginning.
If only he had told His Highness from the beginning, then His Highness would not waste so much time and energy. If only he had not concealed it from the beginning, then His Highness would have more advantages.
If so, it would be great if he had not been helped by the Song family in these years, and he could enter His Highness's team with dignity...
However, without the help of the Song family, he might not even have a chance to appear in Jingzhao Wuge.
The most unlikely thing in this world is "what if"!
Zheng Ji shook his head and replied calmly: "No need."
"But, Your Highness..." Cao Ning wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zheng Ji: "Cao Ning, what I want to tell you is that no one is irreplaceable. It's the same for you or me. Understand?"
Cao Ning may grow into a general, or he may bravely kill the enemy and die for his country, but Cao Ning is involuntarily from the beginning and does not even have the power to choose.
If this is the case, then she can only change.
She cherishes talents, but she will not cherish just one talent.
There are too many trustworthy people around her, not just Cao Ning.
It is possible for Cao Ning to become a general, but her status, whether it is Qin Zhou, Shi Dingfang, or even Cheng Xiangya, and there are so many Chang Ding rate soldiers, is it impossible for her to grow into a general?
Even if it were not Chang Ding who led the soldiers, there were still so many soldiers in the martial arts pavilion. With her same trust and Fengju's same teachings, wouldn't anyone be able to become a general?
Cao Ning is not irreplaceable.
Without Cao Ning, there will still be Zhang Ning and Zhao Ning. Someone can take over at any time.
Expelling Cao Ning from her team without taking his life was a rare sign of compassion on her part for the sake of training during this period of time.
Cao Ning must understand this truth.
If he can't understand, then he really can only be an ordinary soldier. .
These words pierced Cao Ning's heart like a needle. He did not dare to look at Zheng Ji at all, so he did not notice that Zheng Ji's eyes were deep and unspeakable at this time.
